April 22, 2008 -- She may be an international movie star, but this impudent pooch can't tell the difference between Natalie Portman and a fire hydrant.
The "Star Wars" cutie was the unfortunate victim of a surprise soaking as she dropped by a downtown dog run.
Portman, who has been spotted in the West Village in recent days with her bearded boyfriend, Venezuelan-born folk singer Devendra Banhart, was walking her dog with him yesterday when the brazen piddling took place.
While she was getting a pup's-eye view of the surroundings from ground level, another stroller's frisky pet raised its hind leg, relieved itself right on her shoes - and then ambled on its way.
Portman, who has appeared with her pooch on fellow dog-lover David Letterman's TV show, took the incident with good humor.
When tracked down for questioning, the impudent pooch, who's name is Rex, said "I did it for all the Star Wars Prequels haters out there." He went on to say that he'd do it again if he had the chance. Rex is hoping for a chance to bite George Lucas in the nads, but he doesn't think he can afford the plane ticket from New York to California. He would also like to poop in Hayden Christensen's shoe.
